1860: The annual tea festival of the St. Keverne Church Sunday school came off as usual on Tuesday the 5th inst. At 8 o’clock ‘the flag that braved a thousand years’ unfolded itself to the gentle breeze. Crowan Brass Band led the children bearing a number of pretty little flags. (RCG 13th July 1860)
John Brush states that it was active up to the 1890s albeit with possible confusion between it and Black Rock.
